Not only do I love Squamish and Brackendale, it is a great opportunity to practice wildlife photography with a photogenic subject. Unlike my previous trip to the area when I visited in January, this time I […]]]>http://photokaz.com/blog/2017/01/13/squamish-bald-eagles-again/feed/0Hike to Saint Marks Summithttp://photokaz.com/blog/2016/09/25/hike-to-saint-marks-summit/

I look forward to the day they can join me, but for now the tougher hikes have to be without them. Since it’s now fall, I figured this weekend was one of my last chances to get up into the mountains.

The harvest moon is the full moon closest to the fall equinox (Sept. 22nd). Since it was a beautiful clear night, I thought I would test out the Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 VR lens. Here is the shot, which isn’t too bad […]]]>http://photokaz.com/blog/2016/09/25/harvest-moon-2016/feed/0The Wonderful Art of Dale Chihulyhttp://photokaz.com/blog/2016/03/07/the-wonderful-art-of-dale-chihuly/

He is a glass artist from Tacoma, Washington (USA) and now has an amazing gallery in Seattle called Chihuly Garden and Glass. I don’t have too much time to ramble on about each piece, each one can speak for itself. His incredible versatility […]]]>http://photokaz.com/blog/2016/03/07/the-wonderful-art-of-dale-chihuly/feed/2Squamish Bald Eagleshttp://photokaz.com/blog/2016/01/13/squamish-bald-eagles/

I knew that Bald Eagles were likely still in Squamish as I had been there previously. I ventured out one very old morning to see what I could capture. The sun was rising […]]]>http://photokaz.com/blog/2016/01/13/squamish-bald-eagles/feed/0Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 14-500mm f/2.8-5.6E ED VR Lenshttp://photokaz.com/blog/2016/01/13/nikon-af-s-nikkor-14-500mm-f2-8-5-6e-ed-vr-lens/

With me I also had my Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8 and Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 lenses.

I haven’t had very much opportunities to use it recently and needed to get my photo fix in somehow.
